When you click “Schedule an Appointment” on AlphaMeD’s website, you will be prompted to input your personal demographic information, medical history, any medications you are taking, and a consent form to read and sign. If you choose to complete this in the clinic, our front desk staff can help with this process if Needed.
If you’re not sure if a video visit is right for you, call any of our offices to discuss your questions and concerns. Typically, any type of appointment that does not include a physical examination is a perfect fit. This can include treatment for illnesses that do not require lab testing, follow up appointments, reviewing results, and prescription refills.
For urgent care, most of our providers work at the same locations, however there is a chance that the provider you originally saw may not be in the clinic at the time of your visit. All of our providers specialize and promote patient focused, team-based care. Your care is a top priority at AlphaMeD and all of our providers work collectively to ensure that you receive the best care Possible. For primary care, you will have a main provider with whom you schedule each visit. In the event you need to be seen at a time your primary care provider is not available, you can be seen by any of our urgent care providers who can access your medical information and provide immediate care for your situation in sync with your primary care providers’ plan.

No! We accept walk-ins for urgent care at every clinic. Scheduling appointments online is simple, however we do accept walk-ins Monday through Thursday from 8am-8pm, Friday from 8am-6pm, and Saturday from 10am-4pm. (For Scottsdale, our hours are Monday through Friday 8am-5pm and Saturday 10am-4pm)
Our average wait time is around fifteen minutes. However, given the nature of walk-in medical facilities, there can be busy periods with longer wait times. If we are experiencing a high volume of patients, our front desk staff can give you options to come back later without losing your place in line.

“This urgent care is the best we have been to. The staff were professional, friendly and helpful. The space smells fresh, clean and pretty. I would highly recommend!”
Kristin McFarland
"The best urgent care I've seen. Even better than my own family doctor.
I had a herniated disc. They referred me to a specialist, made sure that I can make an appointment. Also, proactively ordered an MRI for me, so I already had the result when I visited the spine doctor. I can't thank them enough. I have been to other urgent cares and they never seem to care. I strongly recommend you go here."
Amir Hashemi
“We had a great experience from the minute we walked in. Very clean facility, kind, efficient and caring staff! We were seen quickly. They were so good with my daughter who was in a lot of pain and helped ease her fear. Highly recommend!!!”
